Member Opportunity to Serve on Scope of Practice Task Force

APTA's
newly established Scope of Practice Task Force is seeking members to develop
recommendations to the Board of Directors on the appropriate role and authority
of APTA in decisions on scope of practice in physical therapy and recommend a
consistent process and criteria to establish current and future physical
therapist scope of practice. Those who are interested should respond to the
call by completing a volunteer interest profile found on the Volunteer Interest Pool webpage. The first step is
creating a "profile" for service. After developing a profile, to be
considered for this task force members must then access the "current
opportunities for service page" and respond to the questions specific to
this task force. The deadline to respond to this call is March 7. For more
information on this task force, click on the link above or contact Karen Jost, PT, MS, senior payment specialist, payment and practice management.
